A novel hybrid feature extraction method using LTP, TFCM, and GLCM

Abstract

Image classification and feature extraction have been studied extensively and used efficiently in several applications. This paper suggests a novel method by combining three main methods for texture feature extraction. The proposed method is based on Local Ternary Pattern (LTP), Texture Feature Coding Method (TFCM), and Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrix (GLCM). We have entitled our method as GCLTP which is stand for Gray Coding Local Ternary Pattern. The combination of LTP, TFCM, and GLCM is assigned a unique value used to extract the features of an image. GCLTP is tested using images are taken from the Brodatz database. A set of 22 features were extracted from images. GCLTP is experimentally accomplished a high accuracy in classification by using the most known classifiers.
